Privacy policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Word Seeker Minimal handles information when you use the app.

1. Information stored locally

Word Seeker Minimal does not require an account and does not directly collect information such as your name, contacts, precise location, photos, camera data, microphone data, or payment card information.

The app stores certain information locally on your device, including:

• Current game boards and found words

• Selected difficulty

• Selected language

• Local game progress

• Review-prompt status and basic usage counters

• Whether the Remove Ads purchase has been activated on the device

The app may read your device language to select a default language. This is processed locally.

2. Advertising

Word Seeker Minimal uses Google Mobile Ads to display advertisements where advertising is enabled.

Depending on your location, device settings, and consent choices, Google and its advertising partners may process information such as:

• Advertising or device identifiers

• IP address and approximate location

• Ad impressions and interactions

• App performance and diagnostic information

• Consent and advertising preference information

We do not operate separate analytics, behavioral-tracking, or cross-app-tracking systems. Advertising data may nevertheless be processed by Google according to Google’s own policies and your consent choices.

You can review or change available advertising consent choices through the Privacy Choices option in the app. You may also disable or limit advertising personalization through your device settings.

3. Remove Ads purchase

The app may offer a one-time Remove Ads purchase.

Payments are processed by Google Play or the Apple App Store. Word Seeker Minimal does not receive or store your payment card, bank, or billing details.

The app may receive limited purchase information, such as whether the Remove Ads entitlement has been activated, so that advertisements can be disabled.

4. How information is used

Locally stored information is used only to:

• Provide and restore your Word Seeker Minimal game

• Remember your language and difficulty preferences

• Restore the Remove Ads purchase

• Prevent repeated review prompts

• Manage advertising consent and display ads

• Improve the basic usability and reliability of the app

5. Third-party services

Word Seeker Minimal may interact with the following third-party services:

• Google Mobile Ads, for displaying advertisements and processing advertising-related information

• Google Play or Apple App Store, for app distribution and in-app purchases

• Expo/EAS update infrastructure, which may process technical request information when the app checks for updates

• Your device’s mail application, if you choose to send feedback to consultancy.jvn@gmail.com

• Apple or Google review services, if you choose to request an app review

These services process information according to their own privacy policies.

We do not sell, rent, or directly share personal information with third parties.

6. Feedback emails

If you choose to send feedback, your device’s mail application opens a message addressed to consultancy.jvn@gmail.com.

The message is sent only if you choose to send it. Your email provider’s privacy policy applies to that correspondence.

We may retain feedback emails for as long as reasonably necessary to respond and maintain support records.

7. Data retention and deletion

Game data and preferences remain on your device until you delete them, clear the app’s storage, or uninstall the app.

Because Word Seeker Minimal does not maintain a user account or central game database, we generally cannot access or delete locally stored game data remotely.

Advertising and purchase-related information processed by Google or Apple is retained and handled according to their respective policies.

8. Children’s privacy

Word Seeker Minimal is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, please contact us.

9. Security

We use storage mechanisms provided by the operating system for local app data. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding personal information, including rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing.

Most Word Seeker Minimal game data remains only on your device. You can usually delete it by clearing the app’s storage or uninstalling the app.

You can also manage advertising consent through the app’s Privacy Choices option or through your device settings.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the app, advertising services, purchase features, or data practices change.

The latest version will be published on this page.
